Two professors take a page from George Bernard Shaw and settle a behaviorism dispute on heredity vs. environment by trying to reform three slovenly, crass handymen, played, of course, by the Stooges. A several-thousand-dollar bet is made, and Prof. Quackenbush sets to training his three Lizas. Several months pass, and the newborn gentlemen attend a dinner party. They behave themselves for about two minutes. The short is capped off by a horrendous pie fight. Good line: "Why, you act as if the sword of Damacles was hanging over your head!"
This short, however, is marred by being Curly's last; he suffered a crippling stroke and was forced to retire. Shemp replaced him two months later in FRIGHT NIGHT. 1947
